The brain and sex, love and bonding
8 July 2002
Published in The Age
"Do you know what cup it was we drank upon the high sea? That good, great draught inebriates us both. I would rather...live off roots and herbs with Iseult than, lacking her, be king of a wide kingdom."
(From Tristan and Iseult - the first Western myth of romantic love.)
"When a boar is sexually aroused, characteristic chomping jaw movements cause the secretion from the submaxillary gland of a viscous, frothy saliva with a repugnant odour. The boar snorts and blows the saliva close to the head of the sow. If she...has ovulated recently, she will adopt an immobile mating stance, which is known as 'standing', and mating follows."
(From a treatise on boar mating.)
The present neo-Darwinian revolution has given us a multitude of ideas about the things which surround sex - for example why gentlemen prefer youth, thin waists and (probably) blondes: why ladies go for height, personality and status.
But these hypotheses are to do with mating and survival strategies. Little has been known about the subtle bodily mechanics of human attraction.
This is starting to change. And it appears that the poets were right: there is literally a chemistry which facilitates the rise and fall of lust, love and marriage.
Pheromones - chemicals which travel through the air between male and female - are well-documented in plants, insects and animals. A female moth can attract a male from a mile away with pheromones. But till recently their role in human attraction was just speculation.
In 1994, Luis Monti-Blonc at the University of Utah put tiny wires into the vomeronasal organ (VNOs) of some volunteers. (The VNO is in the nose.) He then wafted odourless chemicals from the skins of the opposite sex under the volunteers' noses. Their VNOs showed evidence of electrical stimulation - suggesting that the human VNO was designed to detect pheromones.
Dr Alan Hirsch is neurology director at Chicago's Smell and Taste Research Foundation, North America's largest clinic for treating smell and taste disorders. He told The Age that "our double-blind studies on aromas suggest that such things as cucumber and pumpkin pie sexually arouse women, and doughnuts and black licorice arouse men".
And if lavender can increase penile blood flow 40 percent, what might female pheromones do?
A 1998, a double-blind study, Pheromonal influences on sociosexual behavior in men, was published in Archives of Sexual Behaviour. Thirty-eight heterosexual men wore synthesised male pheromones for an eight-week period. At the end of the study, these men reported having significantly more sex than those who wore an inactive placebo.
Other studies brought similar results.
Companies selling products over the Internet - including pig pheromones - have jumped on the pheromone bandwagon. ("Just use Date Mate 2000 like you would a cologne, and enjoy the fireworks.") Dr Hirsch, who sometimes tests these products, believes most are rather dubious.
Whilst pheromone research is in its infancy, the brain's own love chemicals are a little better-understood.
Semir Zeki and Andreas Bartels work at the Wellcome Department of Cognitive Neurology at University College, London. They employed functional magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI) on the brains of subjects who described themselves as "truly, deeply and madly in love".
When the subjects were shown photos of their lover, blood flowed to quite different parts of the brain from when they were shown photos of a friend. It appears that love and friendship are neurochemically different. Professor Zeki told The Age:
"What is surprising, given how much of our behaviour and our daily life is in 'romantic attachment affects', is that the areas of the brain involved seem to be limited in number and small. One presumes that these areas have massive connections with other brain areas to affect our behaviour in this way. No-one really knows what brain chemistry is involved, because no-one has really studied these areas in any detail."
Anthropologist Helen Fisher, Research Professor at New York's Rutgers University, is willing to take a highly educated guess:
"I think we have evolved three distinctly different emotional systems for love," she says. "One is the craving for sexual gratification - which is associated with high levels of testosterone in both men and women. There's a direct link between the androgens [male hormones like testosterone] - and probably the estrogens [female hormones] - and the sex drive.
"The second emotional system in the brain is romantic love. And that's a different feeling from the sex drive. Romantic love is infatuation, giddiness, euphoria, sleeplessness, loss of appetite, and 'intrusive thinking' - you can't stop thinking about the person. And I think all that is associated with high levels of dopamine and norepinephrine. These are chemicals that are associated with euphoria, high energy, and loss of appetite.
"Romantic love is also probably associated with low levels of serotonin."
Dr Fisher - who has covered the subject in her book The First Sex - acknowledges there is no hard science on this second stage. Her hypothesis derives from her study of neurology, and from looking "at the last 25 years of psychological research".
"The third emotional system is attachment - that sense of calm and peace and security that you can feel with a long-term partner. In animals, attachment behaviours are associated with increased levels of vasopressin and oxytocin. These are very common chemicals in all mammals - the genes go back at least 70 million years.
"The sex drive evolved to get you out there looking for anything. You can feel the sex drive when you're driving along in your car. And then romantic love evolved, I think, to make you focus your mating energy. To conserve it, so you don't go after everybody. And finally attachment - that third chemical system - I think evolved so we could tolerate this other individual long enough to raise a single child, at least through infancy, as a team."
Australia's one million divorcees may take cheer from Fisher's view that this three-part cycle may be designed by evolution to last something like four years. So does she see four years as the "natural" term for marriage?
"'Natural' is not a good word... But humans seem to have cycles, like all other creatures. Among them, I think, is a four-year reproductive cycle. This cycle varies enormously however, depending on culture, individual circumstances, timing, and so on. So I'm not a total genetic determinist by any means."
Could one's three different systems be directed at three different people?
"Absolutely. That's one of the problems - that they're not always very well-connected. For example you can have deep attachment for one person, while you feel crazily romantic attraction to somebody else, while you feel the sex drive towards somebody unrelated to either of those two. And this leaves us all in rather a pickle."
There seems to be some evidence for Dr Fisher's ideas in the real world. In India, arranged marriages fare much better than love-based ones, especially long-term - suggesting no strong nexus between Dr Fisher's second and third stages. In the US, year four of marriage is the most common year for divorce.
Like so many aspects of neo-Darwinism, it seems our growing understanding of the brain's love chemicals has the potential to upset many applecarts.

The Eckly Manor is an abandoned mansion located in a small farmland American town and it is once home to the malevolent necromancer known as Mathias, the main antagonist of the 2011 fantasy/horror movie Fading of the Cries.
Eckly Manor was home to Mathias who cursed the townspeople that murdered his once resurrected wife and unborn child in the 17th century. Since his disappearance and that of the 3 summoned demons under his command, the manor stood empty and silent for many years.
A few centuries later, former author Michael after the deaths of his wife and daughter, came and moved in, just to gain closure with the support of his recently divorced sister Maggie. Upon exploring the house. Michael discovered an old journal filled with magical secrets, mystical spells and the history of its owner. Michael began praticing magic and finally summoned 2 demons to aid him his plan of getting revenge on the man who murdered his wife and daughter. The plan worked but at a terrible cost: the demons Malyhne and Sylathus later betrayed him and their master Mathias ordered them to kill him and help sacrifice him to summon another demon, Thurah.
Few years later, a young man named Jacob and his family moved in to the Eckly Manor. His 2 parents and his little sister have too later became victims of Mathias' demons before he died and somehow reborn that very night. It was the Sword of Aves, a blade which later became Jacob's weapon in avenging his family's murder and stop Mathias' reign of terror.
The necromancer after reclaiming the Rune of Seralean, captured Sarah's sister Jill and returned to his home at the Eckly Manor. From there, he unleashed his newly increased powers and turn day into night. Jacob went alone to fight the sorcerer and his legions of the undead.
After arriving at the attic of Eckly Manor, Jacob then fought Thurah and freed Michael's tortured soul from the demon servant's grip upon his death before finally entering a confrontation with Mathias that ends with him destroying the amulet and saving Jill by diving through a hole in the floor and breaking their fall with his own body. At this point, it is learned that Jacob is unable to die due to a protection spell that Sarah's uncle cast before he died. Upon returning home however Jill and Jacob discover Sarah and Jill and Sarah's mother dead, having been killed when Jacob was not there to protect them.
In the end, Jacob then leaves and returns to Eckly Manor where he finds the weakened Mathias reading through his necromancer spells on his lost journal, looking for a way to restore his power. He spots Jacob walking towards him and starts laughing saying that it is impossible for Jacob to kill him due to the fact that he is already dead. Jacob approaches him and says that instead of killing him, he will torture Mathias for all eternity and it fades out with Jacob repeatedly slashing Mathias with his sword and the sounds of Mathias's screams filling the air.
- In the film's early production sketches including storyboards, the mansion's scrapped name was "Echling Manor".

Enough power and fuel! Which made the best 1.5T – Sohu car nibbuns
Enough power and fuel! Which made the best 1.5T? – acceleration, linear Sohu car long before we have a crush on large displacement engine was sufficient basic has disappeared now, large displacement self-priming is destined not to meet the development of modern society, and finally you will find civilian cars now, is self-priming and small displacement turbocharged engine only under small displacement and since the small displacement self-priming is awesome, so the turbine which of the domestic brand is the best? Why are now popular small displacement turbocharged? In the final analysis is the cause of national policy! Buy a large displacement of the model means that you need to pay more tax! 1.6L and the following displacement models before December 31st can enjoy preferential purchase tax policy! Since a large displacement engine is not cost-effective, small displacement self-priming and suck, so the turbine engine has become the mainstream, low emission, high power is in line with national conditions! Which 1.5T model stronger? SAIC GM Wuling Baojun – Application Models: 560, 730 Po Chun 560730 use a codenamed LL5 self-developed 1.5T turbocharged engine equipped with a turbocharger, the Honey Well Company, using the double variable intake and exhaust system, formal multi-point EFI technology, engine parameters belong to the mainstream level, but the maximum torque the output range is not wide enough, but low torque performance of this 1.5T engine is good, can bring you a good speedup, but after a period of performance is relatively weak, fuel consumption performance is good. The Great Wall car – Harvard Application Models: H2, H6, H6Coupe of Harvard brand has been using a code named 1.5T GW4G15B turbocharged engine, this is a the Great Wall independent engine, is actually in their own code for the GW4G15 1.5L self-priming engine with turbo and hard transformation, divided into high and low power and high power version. The version is for the Harvard brand, but in terms of technology and more highlights, as in the inlet side is equipped with variable technology, still use the multi point injection timing technology. But the engine data mediocre, turbo intervention time is late, low torque performance so many owners worry, but the good news is that the Great Wall is brewing a new independent engine, whether technical or dynamic aspects of the innovation, but also need to wait. Zotye automobile application models: Z500, X5, SR7, T600 first step Zotye and no technical reserves are too high, and not their own turbine engine, so it is also using the MITSUBISHI engine fan, Zotye's summary using code named TNN4G15T (Z500 4A91T, Z500G (low), high take X5, SR7), Z500 and X5 in the torque parameter because the adjustment problem is different; 15S4G (T600) 1.5T turbine engine three models, MITSUBISHI engine technology can accept (4A91T or very good), the dynamic parameters of average level, but wins in stable quality.相关的主题文章:

At the age of twenty-one, Brian Boyd wrote a thesis on Vladimir Nabokov that the famous author called "brilliant." After gaining exclusive access to the writer's archives, he wrote a two-part, award-winning biography, Vladimir Nabokov: The Russian Years (1990) and Vladimir Nabokov: The American Years (1991). This collection features essays written by Boyd since completing the biography, incorporating material he gleaned from his research as well as new discoveries and formulations.
Boyd confronts Nabokov's life, career, and legacy; his art, science, and thought; his subtle humor and puzzle-like storytelling; his complex psychological portraits; and his inheritance from, reworking of, and affinities with Shakespeare, Pushkin, Tolstoy, and Machado de Assis. Boyd offers new ways of reading Nabokov's best English-language works: Lolita, Pale Fire, Ada, and the unparalleled autobiography, Speak, Memory, and he discloses otherwise unknown information about the author's world. Sharing his personal reflections, Boyd recounts the adventures, hardships, and revelations of researching Nabokov's biography and his unusual finds in the archives, including materials still awaiting publication. The first to focus on Nabokov's metaphysics, Boyd cautions against their being used as the key to unlock all of the author's secrets, showing instead the many other rooms in Nabokov's castle of fiction that need exploring, such as his humor, narrative invention, and psychological insight into characters and readers alike. Appreciating Nabokov as novelist, memoirist, poet, translator, scientist, and individual, Boyd helps us understand more than ever the author's multifaceted genius.

Property Rights in Central America
In general, Central American countries have support for the direct ownership of land by nationals or foreigners, and the right to use that land as they see fit. This differs from the Philippines, for instance, where non-citizens cannot own land. Some countries have had and continue to have some ambiguities of land ownership laws. For instance, in Costa Rica, land that is owned but undeveloped might be claimed by a squatter. In Nicaragua, there are additional complications arising from changing laws regarding land near the ocean, land that was historically part of land reform, and land that does or might fit the criteria for current land reform laws. I'm not an expert in any of these topics, but I want to invite those who have more information to contribute in this forum.

It's fun to face the past when it comes in the form of this Owl head brooch from Jeanne (early 1900's-1970's) with faux emeralds blazing from its eyes and feather detail that speaks of its quality. The gold tone pin measures 1.25" in diameter and is convex with different planes that add to its realism. The Owl is in very good vintage condition with just a touch of wear at the high point on its beak. The roll clasp on the back is soldered on and "Jeanne c." is marked on a medallion. Nicely weighted and definitely wonderful, you can't go wrong with this!

by Frank Durka, Hassan al Nageim, W. Morgan, David, Ph.D. Williams
Structural Mechanics, first published in 1958, has become established as a classic text on the theory of structures and design methods of structural members. The book clearly and logically presents the subject's basic principles, keeping the mathematical content to its essential minimum. The seventh edition has been revised to provide up-to-date design guidance, principles in line with the current British Standards and Eurocodes. The original simplicity of the mathematical treatment has been maintained, while more emphasis on the relevance of structural mechanics to the process of structural design, analysis, materials, loads on building and structures according to the current British Standard and European Code of Practice. The initial chapters of the book deal with the concept of loads and their effects on structural materials and elements in terms of stress and strain. The significance of the shape of the cross-section of structural elements is then considered before the book finishes with the design of simple structural elements such as beams, columns, rafters, portal frames, dome frames and gravity retaining walls.

text: Hypothalamic disorders cause reduced TSH secretion by impairing the production or transport of TRH to the pituitary gland. Hypothyroidism may occur because the pituitary secretes TSH in insufficient quantities, or secretes TSH with an abnormal glycosylation pattern which reduces the biologic activity of TSH 1,2,3 . Treatment with oral TRH restores the biologic activity of TSH, suggesting that deficient hypothalamic TRH release induces both quantitative and qualitative abnormalities of TSH secretion. TSH molecules with reduced biologic activity may retain their immunologic reactivity in TSH immunoassays, explaining the sometimes observed slightly increased values of serum TSH (up to 10 mU/l) in central hypothyroidism 18, 23 .

Not as easy as the title sounds mind you.
I did some tweaking,
at first I had problems getting to my XP systems.
Now I setup another Win7 System, tweaked it the same way,
and they wont see each other.
I can however, ping the IP's and the computer names.
Also in Nortons Security Suite, the computer came up in

I added it to trusted, and still no go.
Not sure what to check or where to do, as my main system is the same OS and running the same service tweaks.
Also, to mention,
both machines see my XP computers, just not each other now.
I can in the windows address bar, explore, not IE explore..
type \\Computername .. then connect using the username/password of the system.
So I can do all this, but it will not show in the normal networking window.. ??

"Virtually impossible" for solicitors to claim success fees in cases involving children
The Civil Procedure Rule Committee is to investigate claims that the Jackson reforms have made it "virtually impossible" for solicitors to claim success fees in cases involving children, it has emerged.
Committee member HHJ Halbert told its May meeting that in his opinion a rule change would be needed before lawyers acting for children can claim success fees from damages, now that they can no longer be claimed from defendants.
His comments came in a supplement to a paper on the issue by District Judge Hovington, who said that a number of his colleagues had highlighted the problem of child victims and success fees.
Judge Halbert outlined the basic facts of an appeal by a law firm against a district judge's refusal to allow payment out of a child's damages.
The case, which was anonymised, settled with payment to the child of £2,700 plus costs, and a success fee of £675. The district judge hearing the case approved the settlement, but not the payment of success fees.
"There are major problems with this case," Judge Halbert said. "The first is the status of the appeal. The appeal has been lodged by the solicitors. Neither the litigation friend, nor the defendant, have any interest in the outcome of the appeal.
"In reality the parties in the appeal are the solicitors and the child. The solicitors are not parties to the action so they have no locus standi to appeal. To do so, they are acting in conflict with their interests of their own client, namely the child."
Judge Halbert said he had raised the matter with the Supreme Court Costs Office, which took the same view that the solicitors had no locus.
The judge said that there was a further problem over the basis on which the appeal could be funded.
"The money cannot come out of the child's damages without the leave of the court, and there is no chance that this will be granted."
In response, the rule committee decided that a review of the rules was necessary and, "in view of the complexity of the problem", a sub-committee should be set up to identify the issues and how they could be addressed in the rules, with DJ Hovington as chair.
In his paper, DJ Hovington said concern had been expressed that while detailed assessment of costs could be disproportionate by reference to the amounts involved, the rules were unclear as to when summary assessments could be made.
He said that it was likely that in order to dispense with the requirement for detailed assessment, judges may need the kind of detailed information which could only be provided where the detailed procedure was followed.
DJ Hovington added that, where detailed assessments were carried out, there were the "further complications" of the conflict of interest between solicitor and child, and the costs for the child exceeding the 10% uplift in general damages.
2 Responses to ""Virtually impossible" for solicitors to claim success fees in cases involving children"
Someone should have explained to the learned judge that the Litigation Friend would most likely have had an interest in the appeal insofar as the LF is liable to the solicitors for their costs and success fee upon conclusion (assuming a model CFA was used).
That LF, who apparently had no interest in the appeal, will no be writing a cheque for £675.00 and will not have access to the damages, or the 10% uplift in those damages, to pay it or contribute toward it.
Dominic Finn on June 11th, 2014 at 11:05 am
All that is required is a very simple amendment to CPR 21.12 (2) to allow success fees to be paid out of the damages – it already provides for ATE premiums and loan interest to be paid out of a child's damages.
Not a "complex problem" at all.

Very, very tweaky, geeky blog entry today, sorry, but it's great information that I don't want to hoard. This one's just for Mac fans with Office 2008. (I'll return to more general topics soon, I promise.)
As I noted in my review of Office 2008 for the Mac, Microsoft took out the macros feature from Word and Excel. This bums me out. A lot. Because I have a lot of macros that I used to use all the time in the previous version.
Microsoft keeps saying that you can re-create the functions of the lost macros using AppleScript, the Mac's built-in scripting program. But try as I might, I couldn't figure out how. AppleScript is a simple language, but it's still a language, and it's not obvious at all how to use it.
So I asked Microsoft PR if they could ask the engineers to supply me, and by extension you, with some template AppleScripts for useful functions. And they did.
The first one is designed to fixes blocks of text that you've copied from e-mail—you know, where every single line has a Return at the end—and turns it into regular, wrapping text that you can use on a Web page, in a document, or whatever. (But you can use this as a model for similar scripts of your own. It shows you how to build a script that runs through multiple search/replace procedures, really fast, really efficiently.)
Paste the following text into Script Editor (a program in your Utilities folder), and then save it as a script in your Home -> Library -> Scripts folder. Make sure your Script menu is visible on your menu bar (using the AppleScript Utility program). Now, from that Script menu (which looks like a scroll), you've got a search-and-replace script that cleans up Internet text just as well as the old Word macro did. Here we go:
tell application "Microsoft Word"
(* *** "Fix Internet Text" Script *** *)
set docRange to text object of active document
clear formatting of find object of docRange
execute find (find object of docRange) find text "^p^p" replace with "•" replace replace all
clear formatting of find object of docRange
execute find (find object of docRange) find text "^p" replace with " " replace replace all
clear formatting of find object of docRange
execute find (find object of docRange) find text "•" replace with "^p" replace replace all
clear formatting of find object of docRange
execute find (find object of docRange) find text " " replace with " " replace replace all
end tell
Here's how the script works. First, it sets aside all legitimate paragraph breaks, represented in the e-mail message as double Returns, by replacing them with bullet symbols (•).
In the second step, you're replacing all Returns with spaces. This should wipe out the unwanted ones at the end of every line. (This is why you set aside the double Returns; you didn't want the paragraph breaks nuked at this point.)
In the third step, you're turning the legitimate paragraph breaks (which are now • symbols) back into Returns. Finally, there's a cleanup maneuver that turns all double spaces into single ones.
By changing what's in the quotes, you can turn this script into any search-and-replace sequence you like.
Now here's another one I think you might find useful. It shows how to do search-and-replaces for styles in Word. For example, you might receive a document from somebody who's used styles called Level1, Level2 and so on, and you want to replace them with your own heading styles, which are called Heading1, Heading2 and so on. (And you don't want to do it all by hand, one at a time!)
Modify and use this script to solve the problem in a wink:
tell application "Microsoft Word"
set myFind to find object of text object of active document
–set find and replacement styles info here
set findStyle to style Level1
set replStyle to style Heading1
–add style info to find object
clear formatting myFind
set style of myFind to findStyle
–add style info to replacement object
clear formatting replacement of myFind
set style of replacement of myFind to replStyle
–find and replace all instances
execute find myFind replace replace all
end tell
Hope this helps someone out there!

Fabulous 8.6 From 141 reviews
Not impressed that sheets were changed only once in 9 days of staying there! Room too cold.
We always stay here we n Clearwater. The hotel and staff are truly amazing!
We had such a good stay. The room was exactly what we needed. Central location made for a quick car ride to local attractions like the beach, Tampa, and down town Saint Pete. Near the airport but nice and quiet. Hotel staff were so kind and friendly. Breakfast each morning and evening meals on week nights.
Had a wonderful time here. Would definitely stay here again. We cooked meals in our room (grocery store just across the street), swam in the pool, toured the area, and felt very spoiled here. The hotel was just renovated so everything is fresh and new. The staff are all friendly and very helpful. They went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. Our family of 7 stayed in a 2 room, king beds suite. We used the pull out sofa in the living area and they loaned a crib to us. We did some laundry there ($2 a wash $2 to dry= big load) There were 3 tv's in our suite, an ironing board, a hair dryer, and dishes. We had a rental van to get around (shuttle is only local). We went to Busch Gardens, the Tampa Zoo, the Florida Aquarium, the marine aquarium, and the beach. All were 15 to 30 mins away. (Bought the Tampa City Pass). The Tampa airport is about 15 mins away. A wonderful vacation!

Illusion ft. Hiltz 'Bottom of Glass' 26th May 2017
Listen to "Bottom of Glass" Here (Private Link)
"Illusion is back with a super-slick, bass-heavy banger" MOBO Award
Bottom of a Glass is the single from Kudakwashe Sibanda, better known by his stage name 'Illusion'.
"Bottom of a glass is the moment of letting go and experiencing life. It represents a moment of letting go and experiencing something that you wouldn't normally experience. Working with Hiltz was an amazing experience, he has so much talent and potential. He was able to bring a different energy to the song that I otherwise couldn't add by myself." Illusion
Illusion is a producer, songwriter and rapper, described as Kendrick Lamar meets Drake with a Midland's tint. He gained support from key urban platforms MOBOs, Link Up, Kiss, 1Xtra, Capital Xtra, MTV, AKA & Flava with his previous tracks No Love, Take A Break and Get Money. And Bottom of a Glass is set to follow in their footsteps.
Illusion bring something new to the UK rap scene. Not just another London MC, his Zimbabwe via Hereford background and musical family gives him a unique sound that fans worship. No wonder he has performed for BBC Introducing and supported Sneakbo on tour! Before his exposure to hip-hop and pop culture in his teens, a younger Illusion listened to soul, funk and rhythm & blues which have also gone into shaping his current sound.

, Adayar Review
A restautrant that serves Upma in their menu is may be this Sangeetha Desi Destination. Get hot steaming filter coffee also all through the day and ofcourse even in the end of the day in the night.
The restaurant is clearly visible right from the road when you cross the bridge that connects Madhya Kailash and Adayar. When you go towards the Adayar Bus stand you can see this restaurant. Though the name suggests Desi destination, they also serve Chinese too. The Chinese dishes are cooked with Olive Oil. But their speciality is the Chettinad menu they serve. And also their lunch is simply great.
The restaurant have valet parking and so when we went there in our BILs car, we were kindly welcomed very kindly and the Valet took the keys from my BIL and we went inside without having to wait for the car to be parked. The restaurant have two levels, the ground floor and the first floor. The ground floor is a non a/c eating place and the first floor is an airconditioned one. You can go to the first floor either through the spiral stair case near the cash counter in the ground floor or through the steps of stairs that goes straight to the first floor. The restaurant is ever bustling and so it is better to go a bit earlier to have lunch or in the week ends to avoid waiting for a long time.
As we had been here for both Lunch and also for Dinner (or to say the evening tiffin time) I would like to give my review about both the Lunch and Dinner we had in Sangeetha.
Lunch time is always crowded and Sangeetha serves both tiffin items and also Thali varities during their lunch time. We had the Thali which included a large bowl of rice. The rice is a bit more for an adult and one adult and a child can share that rice. The Thali comes with 2 very soft and light weight chappati. The Thali also have a cup of Dal of two vegetables, a pickle, a cup of salad and pappad. The rice accompaniments of Sambar, Rasam were served after you finish each item. They serve it not only when asked but also they keep watch over what you eat and they ask us what we want. More over, they also serve us second helping too and that too without any hesitation. All the items that were served were quite hot and we felt at ease and at home. One of my nephew didnot want to have Thali and he had tiffin items. He had Poori with potato and Ghee Dosa and both were too hot and very tasty.
They also had quick lunch and it had 2 varities of vegetables and all were mixed rice varities. The deserts we had after our lunch were simply great. The ice creams and sundaes and the milkshakes were freshly made and were quite chill too.
Now to the dinner part. We wanted to go out for a eat out and our first choice was Sangeetha Adayar. We here means my parents, my brother and his family and we four. We had been for a shopping and then to beach and this being on the route back home, we thought of going here for our dinner. For a change we wanted to try out the different Chettinad items along with the regular stuff. The Kuzhi Paniyaram both salt and sweet were simply delicious. They serve some special items every day. That day we got to eat the sweet Paniyaram and sweet pidi kozhukattai and the special cheese cauliflower Dosa.
The price is also very reasonable and it is a best place for just a family outing.
They have some down sides also:
One have to wait for atleast half an hour before getting a seat.
The seating is limited and so when it is crowded, you should be sharing your seat with some one else also if you and your family have not filled the whole table.

Recently, I posted an article titled, Fight for the Right to Have Government Healthcare For Our Children with Special Needs. As I was writing that post, I began to think of what government healthcare means and how it has helped me in raising my son, Nate.
Below are the reasons why government healthcare has been important in raising my child with special needs.
1- Nate stayed in the neonatal intensive care for a few weeks after he was born.
2- Nate had many assessments, following his birth.
3- Nate had four ear tube surgeries.
4- Nate was a patient at the following departments at our medical facility: Cardiology, Genetics, Otolaryngology, Neurology, Nephrology, Audiology, and Orthopedics.
4- Nate received Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Hearing Therapy, Speech Therapy, and Vision Therapy.
5- Nate needed hearing aids and a wheelchair.
6- Nate needed diapers/pull-ups after 3 years of age.
7- Nate required psychological and psychiatric evaluations for his behavior.
8- Nate required mental health services. He needed a Behavior Specialist and Therapeutic Support Staff (TSS).
9- Nate required dental surgery that my insurance would not cover.
10- Nate required many radiological services, such as x-rays and ultrasounds.
11- Nate required medications that my primary insurance would not pay.
12- Nate required equipment, such as a Stander to help him stand for long periods of time. He also needed Orthotic braces for walking, and a therapeutic chair to help him sit correctly.
When I review this list, I know I am missing something. It's been a long 22 years. However, I am grateful that Nate has government insurance to cover cost. Without this coverage we would not be able to afford this care for our child. We would have been in debt into the millions of dollars, unable to pay, if insurance was not available.
This is why I believe medical care should be available to all, without limitations. It is a "right" of every human being to have medical insurance. Not a privilege! You can't put a privilege on a human life.
With this, I charge every parent to contact their Congressperson and demand that they NOT vote on a bill that will take the rights away of citizens to have medical coverage. Instead, demand that they work to create a plan that will give affordable healthcare to all.

When Ernest Cline pitched his debut novel Ready Player One in 2011, it went to a bidding war, immediately sold novel and movie rights, rapidly advanced to bestseller lists, and ultimately signed Spielberg to direct the movie which releases next month.
The novel is set in 2045, a dystopian world where the only escape is to a virtual reality called the Oasis, created by computer game guru James Halliday. When Halliday died, players raced to win control of the Oasis by attempting to be the first to solve a series of Easter eggs (hidden gates) buried in the game. Faced with massive poverty, the desire to win – especially before a single corporate team does – drives players to devote their lives to the virtual hunt.
It's easy to imagine the novel's appeal to science fiction fans, as well as those who grew up playing the 1980s video games so many Oasis settings are based on. I first heard of the novel from my tween son who'd heard it lauded by gamers on YouTube.
But how do you explain a debut novel that blasts beyond its expected niche to stay on bestseller lists for months, to be included on major recommended reading lists, to win an Alex Award from the American Library Association and a Prometheus Award? What had this author done to create that kind of breakout?
If you haven't heard of WU's Breakout Novel Dissection group, we get together online four times a year to answer just this question about breakout novels. With a format compiled from Don Maass's writings, we look at key criteria to determine what makes some books larger than life, rising to breakout success.

N.A.S.A. applied one-inch of spray-on foam insulation on the Space Shuttle's External Tank that serves to insulate the tank. The closed-cell foam used on the tank was developed to keep the Shuttle's liquid hydrogen fuel at minus 423 degrees Fahrenheit and the liquid oxygen tank at near minus 297 degrees Fahrenheit even as the tank sits under the hot Florida sun while preventing a buildup of ice on the outside of the tank.
Polyseal Insulation sealed the crawlspace under our new addition. I was very pleased with the promptness of service and excellence of workmanship that we experienced. The price was fair and Kevin made sure that we were satisfied with the work done. I would recommend Polyseal Insulation to anyone who would like an excellent job at a fair price.

|The picture shown on the web site is nothing like the actual product. However, when I called to complain, the customer service was great. They gave me a full refund and told me to keep the product. So I ended up using it after I installed a new plastic cover and added this item as an accent. Turned out to look pretty good.

The Minnesota Departments of Agriculture and Health announced that laboratory analyses have confirmed a genetic match between the strains of Salmonella bacteria found in a container of King Nut brand creamy peanut butter and the strains of bacteria associated with 30 illnesses in Minnesota and nearly 400 illnesses around the country.
Federal health officials have said that 453 illnesses and five deaths have been linked to a salmonella outbreak that is believed to have been caused by peanut butter and peanut paste.
Officials from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control said they are investigating a Peanut Corporation of America manufacturing plant in Georgia as the source of the outbreak.
Kellogg Company has recalled its peanut butter crackers that contain peanut butter paste manufactured as a precaution. However, our firm has received several calls from persons who claim to have suffered symptoms after eating those peanu butter products.
If you, or someone you know, has suffered illness after eating peanut butter products, contact our offices at (866) 735-1102 Ext 515

The printed version.
Invoicing Template in Euros (c4100)
c4100 now includes the customized invoice template for the latest version of Uniform Invoice Software. This is what you will see when you open euro-uis.xlsx.
Invoicing Template in Euros - UIS edition
License: Private Use (not for distribution or resale). See our Terms of Use.
You are safe to download the resources. We've added our digital signatures to the files.
Without database file. How to download and use
Download this if you have already installed UIS, but are looking for additional customized templates.
Download this if you want this design to be set as the default template by the installer program.
Download this free simple VAT invoice template in Excel format for invoicing in Euros. This design has a similar layout as the German version. The differences are that all labels are in English, and it shows the Euro symbol on cells, and also has a Euro watermark on the form.
This template has one single tax named "VAT" set by default. To change the tax name or rate using Uniform Invoice Software, which is our invoicing software program that enhances any Excel invoicing template here on InvoicingTemplate to be a complete invoicing system, first click the "Settings" button on the "Invoice" ribbon tab, go to the "Taxes" tab and then choose the number of taxes applied to this form, the names of the taxes, and the rates of the taxes. You can also enable options like "Tax invoice total including shipping cost" etc. Make sure you click the "Apply" button after modifying the taxing options, otherwise the template layout won't be changed according to the options you choose. If you accept the changes after verifying the form, click the "Save" button on Excel quick access tool bar to make the changes persistent. For more customization samples on VAT, visit VAT invoicing templates. Also refer to VAT invoicing rules on EU Taxation and customs union / European Commission.
As a simple customized sample of VAT invoice created for Germany (See c4098 Sales Invoicing Format for Germany and Service Billing Template for Germany), we make the currency symbol shown for the appropriate cells. This customization is easy and simple. If you are interesting in the details, here is how.
As you can see, with Microsoft Excel it is fairly easy to change the format and layout of a form design. While there are many other templates available for billing and invoicing, like Microsoft Word or Publisher, Google Docs, OpenOffice.org, even HTML + CSS or Photoshop, it is much easier to do formatting with Microsoft Excel.
Another feature of this template is the watermark / background image that shows the euro symbol. This is a PNG image set to 15% opacity to make sure the foreground text are clear and visible. This watermark image is added using Excel "Page Setup" dialog box as a header image. In exactly the same way, you can place your own business logo image or other pictures and images that are very special and important to your business, such as your office, your sales team, etc. The imagination is endless!
Like other form designs here on InvoicingTemplate.com, Invoicing Format in Euros is free (offered to you at a price of 0.00USD). It works on Windows XP and all newer versions of Windows, and Excel 2007, 2010, 2013 or 2016.

I love reading with my kids. It is probably my number one favorite thing to do with them. I know it doesn't promote physical fitness and an active lifestyle, or creativity, or social skills. But reading and a love (or at least an appreciation) for books is such a huge gift. There are children all across the world who don't have access to books, and even if they did their parents are unable to read to them. It is a simple gesture, to sit and read with your child, but shows them love and builds bonds that will last a lifetime.
We read a lot at our house. I mean A LOT. We have tons of kids' books and every time I try to get rid of some, I just can't. We really do read all of them regularly. Even with all the books we have, we love visiting the library to find new adventures to bring home. This year, I am trying out focused seasonal reading lists. Each season the kids and I will read books together that focus on a few topics.
This spring, we are going to read books that focus on gardening, ponds and pond life, and rain. Here are the books I've got on our reading list this spring. You can download the list using the link at the end of this post.

So the family and I are packing up to go to Sea Ranch next week. I was wondering if anyone has any great ab recipes. I've sautéed in butter with garlic, fried in batter, and all the standard recipes. If you have a recipe that really stands out please post it up.
Also, anyone have good tips on cleaning up the foot to preserve as much meat as possible? I feel like I always whittle away so much meat. Or is it just too tough and chewy to be eaten?

Glass bottles are one of the best ways to store liquids. Glass has a lot of benefits over plastic or metal, chief of which is that its chemically stable nature ensures that your wine, juice, water or whatever is going to taste exactly like it did before it went in the bottle. Plastics and metals can leech various chemicals into liquids that alter their taste, and some research has also suggested these chemicals could be harmful to our health in high quantities. One notable exception is leaded crystal. While this upgraded cousin to ordinary glass has some desirable properties, like its ability to reflect light almost like a diamond, the lead used to create this beautiful effect can and does transfer into liquid. Still, your average crystal goblet at dinner is perfectly safe and nothing to be worried about.
The one big downside to glass is almost as obvious as its major benefits. It's still there long after you're done with it. Glass is theoretically the perfect recyclable. It can be melted down and reformed over and over with no loss of quality. But it takes energy to do that, and that's only after hundreds of men and women have sorted it for color, complex machines have eliminated contaminants and the ground up glass has sat out in the sun for a while to allow UV rays to destroy any remaining traces of undesirable material. Glass containers are also the heaviest by volume of the most commonly used materials and so all that glass in your recycling bin ends up using more fuel to reach the reprocessing facilities. Sorry if that's too much school for you, but we wanted to give you a little background on why there's a very good reason to "upcycle" old glass bottles as opposed to making it someone else's problem.
Most glass bottles have an elegance and beauty that plastic and metal containers don't, which makes them perfect for things like these simple, attractive votives.
Many glass bottle upcycles involve using the wide, cylindrical base of the bottle, but that doesn't mean the neck has to go to waste.
While we'll show you down below how to easily cut bottles, not all of these ideas require it. These cute Christmas decorations just require some paint and a strand of lights!
Slightly more ambitious concepts grant you stunning results, as these unusual planters show.
What "man cave" would be complete without a light fixture like this?
Because glass comes in just about every color you can think of, the possibilities for decor are endless.
Of course, for as many great ways as there are to reuse glass bottles, don't forget about your plastics. While not as beautiful, they're easy to work with and can result in many fun and functional items.
With a little creativity and some well-placed cuts, you can create something so beautiful and unique that people won't even realize at first that you made it yourself out of essentially garbage.
Maybe we grew up looking at too many still life paintings, but we love a good bottle-based mantelpiece. Doing it yourself means you can vary the style to match the season, or just your radiant personality.

The 2010 Sun Classic at ESPN Wide World of Sports began Thursday with a combine during which uncommitted players 2010-2014 demonstrated their pitching, fielding and hitting skills. The combine, which attracted numerous college coaches from around the country, featured 90 players from the major softball regions. The double session was followed by practice games; 11 games were scheduled but the final round of 6 games was cancelled by rain.
The formal tournament begins at 8am Friday.
Six games will be televised on ESPN3, three on Friday, three on Saturday, including:
11:10 am Friday Texas Storm vs WA Ladyhawks Miller
12:45 pm Friday NJ Intensity O'Donnell vs GA Vipers Berry
2:20 pm Friday Team No Florida vs Tulsa Eagles
11:10 am Saturday CA Batbusters vs Miami Stingrays
12:45 pm Saturday IL Beverly Bandits vs CA Cruisers
2:20 pm Saturday So Cal Athletics vs GA EC Bullets
Note: this game matches the Premier national champion vs the ASAS Gold champion.
The tournament concludes with a final round of games at 2pm Sunday.
Given the format, with stations on four fields, and constant player rotation, SPY could not take note of every player, and assuredly missed key players. Some were standouts. Celyna Grijalva-Lujan, Teamsmith, impressed at 3rd base, charging hard and soft grounders with deep throws to 1st. Courtney Ziese, So Cal Explosion, stood out because all the catchers were working with unfamiliar pitchers but she framed pitches and had a solid throwdown. Jocelyn Rivera, NJ Intensity KOD, fielded her position accurately. Meagan May, So Georgia Chaos, hit the only home run we saw. Gabrielle Klecko, NJ Intensity KOD, made an outstanding, sliding catch in the outfield. Alix Powers, shortstop for Team No Florida, was impressive in the field and at bat, driving in two runs with a solid double to center. Valerie Koff, a pitcher for the AZ Hotshots Gatti, also hits hard, driving in two runs. Catcher Janelle Bouchard, ME Frozen Ropes, looked good going down the line on plays at 1st and in handling pitchers.
In practice games, Cassie Vodde pitched a complete 3-1 victory by Indiana Magic over Victory. We were enjoying watching Pennsbury Gems, 3-0 win over NJ Intensity Deturro, pitched by Kim Smith. Erin Okoniewski and Claudia Boggi had rbi's.

4 November 2010
Women's fast pitch softball will again be contested when the 16th Asian Games begin next week in Guangzhou, China. The sport has been on the programme of that multi-sport event since 1990 – coincidentally, also in China. Taking place every four years, the 2010 edition will feature six teams in the softball competition: China, Chinese Taipei, Japan, (South) Korea, the Philippines, and Thailand. Four years ago in Doha, Qatar, the gold medal game of the softball competition saw Japan defeat Chinese Taipei, with China having finished third.
International Softball Federation President Don Porter and ISF Secretary General Ms. Low Beng Choo (MAS) will be in Guangzhou for the Games, with ISF Regional Umpire Coordinator/Asia Tommy Wang (TPE) serving as the Umpire-In-Chief and Miss Jia Ali (CHN) as the Deputy UIC. The event opens on November 12th, with the softball competition getting underway on the 19th.
Both Argentina and Nicaragua recently held umpire seminars, as the calendar moves closer to another, which will take place at the ISF's world headquarters complex in Plant City, Florida (for ISF certification).
This past weekend in Estelí, Nicaragua, a national umpire clinic (fast pitch) concluded, with 23 attendees. The four-day event (pictured below) was put on by the Nicaragua Softball Federation, with the head of their umpiring program, José Ricardo Rodríguez, as the instructor.
Meanwhile, a two-day Level 1 Umpire Seminar was staged in Buenos Aires by the Argentina Softball Federation. Mr. Javier Peñarroya, who, like Mr. Rodríguez, is ISF-certified, led the 13 attendees from around the country through the session. Attaining this particular level allows these umpires to officiate in minor categories in their country. The seminar is part of a program that the Federation has undertaken to rebuild their umpire crew.
Next Monday (November 8) marks the registration deadline for the December 28-January 2 ISF Umpire Certification Seminar in Florida.
Earlier this year Maria Soto (VEN) was elected by her peers to the Athlete Representative position on the ISF Board of Directors. Since then more athletes have stepped forward to be active in the sport off the field. ISF President Don Porter has recently added 2008 Olympic silver medalist pitcher Monica Abbott (USA) to the ISF Athletes Commission. And, her teammate Jessica Mendoza (pictured below), a two-time Olympic medalist, has expressed her interest in continuing to work with the world governing body, following her participation in the Olympic reinstatement campaign as a BackSoftball Athlete Ambassador. Mr. Porter says that plans are underway to continue implementing these and other athletes into ongoing development initiatives.
Chicago, Akron Trade Pitchers
ELGIN – Chicago Bandits General Manager Aaron Moore announced today a trade between the Akron Racers and Banidts, bringing pitcher Taryne Mowatt to Chicago in exchange for Kristina Thorson.
"It feels great to be a Bandit," said Mowatt. "I played against them in past years and it'll be nice not to face the lineup and have their lineup on my side. I know from my experience of getting back into the NPF last season, what I need to work on this offseason and how to prepare for 2011."
Mowatt appeared in 15 games last season for the Racers, pitching her way to a 2-3 record in 42 innings pitched. She finished the season with 26 strikeouts 6.83 ERA.
"Taryne is a player we have high hopes in for the 2011 season," stated Bandits GM Aaron Moore. "She had an up and down season with Akron in 2010, but we're confident she'll be able to find the form that made her one of the elite college pitchers in the last 10 years. She is a proven winner and is a pitcher that wants the ball on a big stage. We're thrilled to have her in a Bandits uniform."
The 2007 ESPY winner for Best Female Athlete and Best Female College Athlete was a member of the 2008 Washington Glory squad that faced off with Chicago for the NPF Championship.
"I'm excited to have her as a Bandit," said Bandits Owner Bill Sokolis. "She was outstanding in college, pitched well for the Glory and we think she can return to good form. We didn't reach our ultimate goal last season and we need to shake some things up roster wise so we can get another Championship."
ASA conducts annual meeting in Shreveport, La., Nov. 5-13
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. — The Amateur Softball Association (ASA) of America continues its preparation for the 79th Annual Council Meeting as it is just days from kicking off the meeting in Shreveport, La. Hosted at the Hilton Shreveport and Shreveport Convention Center, the Annual Council Meeting brings together ASA administrators, players and tournament hosts from around the country to evaluate the needs of the association along with proposed rule and code changes for all divisions of softball.
Pictures and live updates will be posted on the ASA/USA Softball Facebook and Twitter pages. To view the Facebook and Twitter pages, you do not have to be a member of either website.
The majority of the Annual Council Meeting will consist of breakout sessions for the different committees and regions. However, several special events will be held throughout the week including the Wilson Sporting Goods Awards Luncheon on Monday, the 3rd Annual "Fun Walk" on Tuesday morning and the National Softball Hall of Fame banquet and reception on Wednesday evening.
More than 70 exhibitors from throughout the United States are expected to attend the annual ASA Trade Show, which will be held Saturday evening in the Shreveport Convention Center's Exhibit Hall 2. The show will feature exhibits from cities bidding on the ASA National Championships, equipment manufacturers and softball suppliers with more than 1,000 council members, association delegates and visitors passing through. A silent auction will also be held throughout the week in Shreveport with various items, including those autographed by past and present athletes on the USA Softball Men's and Women's National Team, up for bid. The proceeds will be donated to the ASA Special Programs fund.
Also on Tuesday at the general session, cities across the country will make their pitch to the 280 plus ASA council members to try and win their support to bring one of the 2012 ASA National Championships to their respective cities. The decision of the host cities is one of the most anticipated decisions made by the council as each ASA National Championship has the potential to have thousands of dollars in economic impact.
A complete list of the hosts for the 2011 ASA National Championships and 2012 Championships as well as the host city of the 2012 ASA Annual Council Meeting will be available on www.asasoftball.com, the official website of the ASA, following the Council Meeting. Code and rule changes will also be announced on the site.

by Ann Smith • August 3, 2016 • Festival News
Parking is the biggest challenge for this festival. Because we are located in the heart of downtown Lebanon OH, you have search for parking places. There are several churches that accept donations to park in their lot but those spaces go quickly. All we can suggest is driving up and down the side streets and look for an open spot.
The stage location is the intersection of Mulberry St and Cherry St.

one day at a time
Tuesday, 6 March 2012
It's one of those times when I am running out of available cards so today I decided to stamp up some toppers which I can then assemble onto cards for the many birthdays approaching. Some of the outlines are stamped with any old ink and some are embossed. This shopping lady stamp was a gift from my friend Liz and this was the first time I have used it. I found it very clear despite the fact I damaged the foot pulling it off the stamp from the packaging. Some of the stamps brought out a little background I didnt want but I can use these to remove parts to decoupage. To colour I like the letraset pens as they give the impression of solid ink rather than penfilled. This will make a nice Mother's Day or birthday card.
I also had a little play with another set of stamps I havent used before made by Debbie Moore. I attend 2 of her workshops a year with a few of my coffee+craft friends. They were also very clear and embossed well. They look well in primary colours. I had purchased metal magic but found it expensive and I didnt get the effect I had hoped but today it worked well as straight forward embossing.
This evening when I had finished my Precept Bible study for tomorrow I did a little more work on my quilt block and my ripple blanket.
